Jason Smith on Entrepreneurs who Use Bitcoin

Jason gained notoriety when he tried to pay his employees using the LN and his objective critique was met with contempt from Adam Back, Elizabeth Stark even Nick Szabo, who he genuinely believed to be Satoshi at the time.


Jason shares his views about why is there such little industry attention for general entrepreneurs that try to use these technologies as a payment solution.


By general, I refer to industries that are unrelated to bitcoin looking for better payment methods.


His take on cryptocurrency is a unique one, and I've done over 100 interviews.


Jason has paid employees with BCH and has had some success, but how does it compare to Western Union and PayPal?


We also discuss his concerns with BCH going forward and the characteristics he looks for in a cryptocurrency.
